New ContributorGuidance for using UART IP if Quartus
All is documented here: https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/docs/programmable/683130/24-3/uart-core.html
The memory map is here: https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/docs/programmable/683130/24-3/register-map-38176.html
The _inst.v is an instantiation template, not the actual instantiation. You copy the template into your code and edit it to connect to the rest of your project.
As for your usage, that's up to you. You can use the JTAG UART IP with Nios to send and receive characters while the design is running in hardware for debug.
